1722, from day to day
1722. With other artists, Alessandro Scarlatti, François Couperin and John Gay influenced their time (baroque era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, while others would disappear such as Johann Kuhnau. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Prelude and Fugue No. 1 in C major” de Johann Sebastian Bach, for example.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1722 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 50 of these moments for 1722.
